Our first week back after the summer holidays and it's been lovely to introduce the rest of the squad to the unit and life at Eglinton πŸ’š

We have had a real mix of long walks, short walks, slow walks, playful silly walks and every walk has had it's fair share of sniffing. There's also been hanging out with their friends in the unit from playing to snuggling.

Getting out exploring the park is a huge part of the dogs day now (and ours) and rather than sticking to the same combinations we encourage the guys to come out in different groups. We take in to consideration what each of the dogs like to do on a walk whether that's a slow and steady pace, examining each little corner, a longer, faster paced walk, a solo explore or perhaps they need to build some confidence and no two days are the same.

By taking this approach we are seeing new friendships between dogs that might not have taken much notice of each other and there is always the option for each of them to have some downtime in the VIP Suite when they want to relax away from the days group.

Here are some of the Adventurers enjoying the mostly sunny days πŸΎπŸ’šπŸ₯Ύ

Just like that the summer holidays are over and we are welcoming back the whole gang, some of them seeing the unit and our new walks for the first time. We glad to say everyone seems to approve. It's so funny to see them come in have a sniff about then suddenly realise they're friends are all there as well πŸ˜πŸ’ž

A huge thank you to Avril, Chloe and Emma for holding the fort for the last week or so while I was off having an eye op. I'm just about back to being able to look at my laptop so Sunday posts will be back sharing the gangs adventures but for tonight it's a little bit short and sweet πŸΎπŸ’šπŸ₯Ύ

A huge thanks to the guys at Abbey Screen and Digital Print Ltd for our new signs at Unit 1We absolutely love it πŸΎπŸ’šπŸ₯Ύ

That's us back after our summer break and we'll admit to being slightly glad to be off while it was so hot for the guys. That said we are loving that the unit is staying nice and cool regardless what's going on with the temperature outside.

We have been loving exploring new trails for slow sniffy walks, getting some paddling in, having loads of space to play inside and generally settling in to life at Eglinton. We have seen new friendships developing and everyone is settling into the new routine so well. Honestly we couldn't be prouder πŸ’ž

With the end of the summer holidays fast approaching all the regulars who haven't seen the new space will be back soon and we can't wait to show them around.

With a few personal things happening at the moment new classes are on hold to mid September when we will be opening up a few daycare places as well. To anyone who has sent messages we will be in touch this week. In the meantime here are the guys going about their days (we're still not talking about the floor but we have a plan now!)

The end of week 2 at Eglinton and it's safe to say it feels like we've always been here. The walks, the space, the quiet all have come together to make it everything we hope it might be.

The chance to move to Eglinton came at the very worst time yet in the same breathe it was the best possible timing. Yes there's a few snagging issues (no one mention the floor to Mandie πŸ˜†) but we can see what it's going to be.

Yet again the daycare gang have been amazing with more of the regulars coming back from their holidays and exploring the new space. We've had a couple of new faces pop in for trails and one very familiar one finally getting to come in and play. Alba you've been so patient πŸ’•

Next week is our week off, to recharge, have done adventures and no doubt make plans despite telling ourselves we're going to switch off πŸ™ˆ

Here's to holiday adventures and if you're off on yours we'd love to see what your dogs got up to.

In the meantime here are a few photos from the last few days (seriously don't mention the floor) πŸ₯ΎπŸΎπŸ’š

Lots of adventuring to be done another day 🧑🐾

What a week we've had as we finally moved into our new home at Eglinton Workshops and already it feels as though we've always been there πŸ’š

The daycare crew took it all in their stride and after a few slightly puzzled looks as they were dropped off somewhere new they were loving exploring the new space.

We have always believed that getting out into nature is so good for the wellbeing of both dogs & people. It doesn't matter whether you're taking a sniffy nature walk with your dog, a longer hike, a bit of a run, a dip or just sitting on a bench taking in the view it's all good for the soul.

The move to Eglinton is going to let us grow not only this ethos but a community who want to get outdoors with their dogs however that looks for them. We're extra lucky that we get the added pleasure of getting out and about exploring with the daycare guys.

Over the coming days and weeks we'll be getting back onto our socials again to share what we are up to (and catching up with messages) but in the meantime here are a few photos from last week

Moving in day for the new unit is coming round pretty quickly now so after tonight's fun Hoopers class Munro and I checked out a nice wee circular walk for the daycare crew.

It honestly feels like a reset every time we had out to explore another path or bit of the country park. Although I've walked in Eglinton for years (and we're talking about lot of years) I'm loving discovering bits I had no idea existed! I can't wait to for us to be there πŸ₯ΎπŸ’šπŸΎ
